New York City Comptroller Brad Lander (D), a candidate for mayor, was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents on Tuesday as he guided a defendant out of immigration court.

Lander campaign spokesperson Dora Pekec said in a statement that masked agents took him and ICE detained him as he was escorting a defendant out of the court. She said the situation is still developing, and the campaign is monitoring it closely.

Video of the incident shows Lander leading the defendant through the hallway and requesting that the agents show a judicial warrant to detain them.
